There's nothing funny about A to Z, and yet, this game made us laugh,
almost non-stop, for an entire hour. Each player or team gets an
alphabet board. Dice are rolled. A category is selected from a card.
And then that player or team has fifteen or thirty seconds (depending
on the dice) to name items that fit the category. As soon as an item
is named, its first letter gets covered on the alphabet board. Name as
many items as possible within the time limit, each starting with a
different letter, and then name more, in a different category, when it
gets to be your turn again. The object is to be the first player or
team to complete the alphabet. Transparent discs are used to mark
which letters have been used.

There were eight of us, so we played it in teams. It turned out to be
so much fun to play with a teammate that I'd recommend, even if there
are exactly four players, that you play it in two teams. Some of the
categories are excruciatingly difficult. Like, names of foreign
newspapers, or famous military leaders. Others are delightfully easy,
especially for us average American folk - like snack foods or fast
food restaurants. So, you might think that success depends on the luck
of the category drawn. And you'd continue thinking it until someone
throws the dice and the hand symbol appears. Then, when naming items,
instead of trying to find things that begin with one of the
ever-dwindling assortment of available letters (like Q and Z), you
select someone else's board, and remove their discs. Since the letters
already covered tend to be those that are easiest to use, things have
a way of evening out with depressing rapidity.

The mechanical timer ticks and flips noisily when the time limit is
reached. It's a little difficult to see the fifteen second mark (there
are only two time limits - either the full 30 seconds or the painfully
brief fifteen), affording the opportunity for the only negative
criticism I could find for this remarkably absorbing, unique,
challenging, easy to understand, and genuinely fun word game.
